The first step is finding the brand new Parlay Builder for OddsShopper. It is located on the top banner and is just one click away. This tool is a game-changer because the Awesemo data scientists have built the parlay already. The user has the choice of what type of parlay they prefer to chase, and the slate is customizable along with the sportsbook. The parlay is built based on the top ROI bets based on Awesemo simulations and to exceed at least 10 times your initial bet. As a reminder, betting the props individually is always a smart way to build your bankroll. A 10x parlay is not exactly the most stable return if it is always being bet just as a parlay. Let’s find out what the best-projected bets are for Thursday and build some NBA parlay picks. This particular parlay was listed at around 12:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 3. OddsShopper updates the parlay constantly, so this is a guideline, and all plays will be linked to build the particular parlay.

Anthony Davis Under 2.5 Assists

The ROI on this wager is the best of the night at +140 and it would stand to reason that LeBron James will be sitting again tonight for the Lakers since he has not played in a week. Tonight would mark just the third time that Anthony Davis has played the second leg of a back-to-back, but Los Angeles needs to start winning games. When James has been off the court this season, Davis has a 14.8% assist rate but he is only averaging 2.8 assists per game this season. James being on or off the floor does not have much of an effect on Davis. When James plays, Davis is at a 13.7% assist rate and the Los Angeles Clippers are just 11th in points allowed in the paint. Davis is in the top 10 in points scored in the paint and he was very aggressive last night, shooting the ball 18 times and taking 14 free-throw attempts. When he is hunting his shot like that, he is not going to be passing often and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 68%, a very high number for +140.

Harrison Barnes Under 15.5 Points

The Sacramento Kings will face the Golden State Warriors tonight and Harrison Barnes may have a difficult time scoring in this matchup. While Barnes does average 16.5 points per game this season, he will see Andrew Wiggins defending him in a good bunch of possessions tonight, which is not ideal for Barnes. Wiggins probably should not be starting the All-Star game this season, but that does not mean he should be sold short on what he is accomplishing as a defensive player. His defensive rating is 101.8 this year and for context, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is at 103.8 and is widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league. 44% of the field goal attempts from Barnes this year have come from a 3-point distance and Golden State is second in field goal percentage allowed from that distance at just 33.1%. OddsShopper gives a 60% expected win rate for Barnes tonight.

Jerami Grant Under 2.5 Assists

The expected win rate from OddsShopper for Jerami Grant tonight is 60% and he is still getting back on track after missing almost two full months of action. The first of this month marked his first game back. Grant logged 29 minutes for the Detroit Pistons, which means he is likely to have around the same amount of minutes tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Who exactly is playing for Detroit tonight is still up in the air because Cade Cunningham is questionable, but the Pistons are otherwise mostly healthy for the first time in a long time.

When Grant and Cunningham have been on the court together this season, Grant has just a 16.6% assist rate and he is averaging 2.5 assists per game. What is really fascinating is when Cunningham is off the floor, Grant’s assist rate drops to 9.9%. Either way, the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives a return of +884 for this three-leg parlay. With Grant being one of the names thrown around in trade rumors the most, it would not be a surprise if Detroit keeps his minutes limited just a bit as well.
